Description Another gryphon, this time on coloured paper.
Anatomy isn't the best (had problems with the legs and the wings are a bit too small) but it's okay for now

This looks so good! I think that the feet might be a little too small, but the wings are perfect. What kind of paper do you use?

Thank you
B...but lion feet look small to me... No?
Eh. I probably messed them up. I just can't see it yet.

It's nothing special, just some normal drawing paper that got old. My mistake, I should have writtenΒ 
old paper instead of coloured in the description

I wouldn't say messed up. Yeah they maybe a little small, but that's where the errors end. A good way to judge whether or not the feet are too small is to ask yourself, "How big is this animal". The larger the animal, the larger the feet are going to be.

Okay, but are we talking legs or feet? Legs I can definitely see a problem with here.
I don't see how the size of the animal has anything to do with their feet or leg size.
Small animals can have very big feet compared to the rest of their bodies.

Also, hind legs or front legs? (Or well, feet)
I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused.

I am talking about feet here.
I think the legs are fine, but I can see the problem you might have with the hind legs.
You see, when you are dealing with a large predatory creature, having bigger feet might help you
with hunting, speed, over all power in your attacks.
When you have large feet on a small creature there is a reason for it. Like a rabbit needs it to get away from predators.Β

Yeah, bigger feet might help, but it's mostly the leg muscles and the spine.
Because otherwise a lynx would be faster than a cheetah.
And at least with humans, the less of your feet you use while running, the faster you are.
But hey, you're probably right. I'll make the feet a bit bigger next time!
